Origin

This steep 45 hectare (111 acres) south-south-west facing site features soil composed of stony, grey weathered Devonian slate. Wines from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr are elegant, succulent, finely scented, with ripe acidity and a silky mineral finish.

Vinification

The 100% healthy grapes were harvested in October, gently crushed, and macerated briefly on the berry skins to extract aroma and minerals. The must fermented slowly and spontaneously at low temperature, so that complex fruit aroma could develop perfectly. Thereafter, it matured on the lees for an extended period in stainless steel tank.
